      Principal Software Engineer Interview

      4 Jan 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Berlin
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HERE Technologies (Berlin) in Aug 2014

      Interview

      Nice people from HR taking care of everything. They make sure you know at all stages what's happening, what's next, and who you'll talk to. Had several meetings with different people (managers and engineers), each lasting about an hour. They organized them all so they happened during one day. The technical parts covered programming (C++) and general algorithms questions, some going very deep. The social parts were conducted by HR, focusing on work attitude, problem solving, team skills, etc.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Questions involved coding, algorithms, software design, and social skills.

      New Delhi
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at HERE Technologies (New Delhi) in Mar 2022

      Interview

      There were total 5 technical rounds. 1. Technical screening. 2. DSA & problem solving. 3. DSA & problem solving. 4. System design. 5. Leadership. Interview went very smooth. They rejected me because they couldn't digest my reason for leaving current company. This is my second time interviewing with them & both the times it is same reason. Maximum time it does not matter for what reason anybody is leaving their existing company. What matters is the value they bring.

      Principal Software Engineer Interview

      30 Jan 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Diego, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HERE Technologies (San Diego, CA) in Jan 2016

      Interview

      During recruiter call and phone screening, a lot of promises were made. The first 5 minutes of in-person interview were then spent by hiring manager, backpedaling to lower job title. There was no 1-on-1 interview, only a 3-4 engineer panel white boarding session. Questions overall were average difficulty, with a strong technical focus and not much about experience/personality. The office has typical novice interviewers that were looking for an exact match with their expected algorithm and that did a poor job of describing the problems to solve. Also, there was very little feedback, so it was hard to tell whether that zoned out look means my solution was a) wrong, b) too hard for interviewer to understand, or c) interviewer was bored.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The word problem and sample data were ill-defined, but what they were looking for was this: Given an ordered list, find elements i and j that have the largest difference (element[i]-element[j]). Constraints: j>i and time complexity O(n).
